[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
Hi,

I need some help solving my root problem with my European HTC Desire. I recently got the device itself from a friend. Since both noobs with Android and rooting/flashing, neither him nor me know if it is a branded phone or not. I assume, it's not branded since I couldn't see any brand on the device or in the menu so far. Also, it's still Froyo (Android 2.2) and looks pretty standard.

Same hard facts:

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON (additional info: PVT4 erase size = 20.000)

HBOOT-0.93.0001

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.09.05.30_2

Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18

HBOOT

<VOL UP> to previous item

<VOL DOWN> to next item

<POWER> to select item

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

Software Infos:

Android Version: 2.2

Baseband-Version: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

Kernel-Version: 2.6.32.15-g6a358a9 htc-kernel@and18-2 # 1

Build-Nummer: 2.10.161.2 CL229389 release-keys

Software-Nummer: 2.10.161.2

Browser-Version WebKit 3.1

My aim is to get a CUSTOM ROM (preferably mild wild's cm7 JG) on the device. For rooting, I would like to use the unrevoked³ tool, since I didn't find a step-by-step instruction for revolutionary (besides, I don't like to give away my serial number...not trying being paranoid, but, you know..)

For the unrevoked method, I followed the Noob Proof Video Tutorial. I am stuck at "Waiting for reboot..." (in this video @ 2:02 min).

My guess, without knowing for certain what the problem was, is that my HTC Desire doesn't reboot correctly even without connecting it with USB-port, etc. It may be kinda broken (I had tons of bootloops, freezes, etc, pp). Maybe I somehow damaged the phone with the first try to root it? I tried anything I read here during the last 3 days (clear storage, soft reset, bootloader reboot, etc).

I need to get the battery out and then wait for good 10 Minutes, to even boot normally. Often, I just come to enter my PIN for the SIM card, when there's a reboot. Often it reboots even right after the second boot screen ("quietly brilliant").

MAybe it's a heated processor? idk, but even really long pauses wouldn't make it reboot correctly.

I disconnected the USB cable and took the battery out, then after 10 minutes, I put them back in and obviously evo³ continued the process from there ("system to settle...might take a minute" or sth similar). However, my device just rebooted there again and then I had the error code "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again."

This is logical, since it reboots when it wants but never when it's supposed to O.o ****ty phoen ^^ (excuse my language)

Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
If your phone can boot normally, without any reboots, use revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery.

revolutionary.io

Read the All things root for desire in my sig.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
Apparantly my phone doesn't boot normally :(

Thx though

Edit: wow, now it's even stuck during the second bootscreen at "quie..." of "quietly brilliant" O.o
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Best would be to flash the 2.3 RUU (sig, put in on sd-card and boot in bootloader), and use revolutionary. You will lose all your data, but at least the phone will boot, and you will root it.

Well, except if unrevoked did install a custom recovery. Check that too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
No, unrevoked didn't make a custom recovery...the boot menu looks all the same.

However, things are really messed up now. I put the 2.3 RUU image on my SD-Card and booted it via bootloader. An update process began. After completion, the phone rebootet several times just up to the HTC-logo, vibrated about 20 times (maybe the 7-times stuff a couple of times in a row).

Nothing works now. I couldn't even boot anything now.

Also, my bootloader shows HBOOT 1.02.001 now.

Radio is 5.17.05.23

Need help!

Edit: after point 9 in the picture, the device reboots but doesn't boto further than the HTC Logo. THen it vibrates 7 times until it reboots again, then it vibrates 7 times until it reboots again...and so on, and so on...all in a loop.

Edit 2: after having the phone rested on my table over night, this morning I put the battery back in and it worked...a bit. It booted correctly and I configured the settings (debugging-mode, etc). However, trying to do unrevoked again, the device stuck at rebooting again. :(

Still need help, plz

Edit 3: so desperate --> plz help :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
You don't run unrevoked on it. If it's still in a bootloop, then flash the ruu again, then use Revolutionary to s-off. DO NOT USE OR DO ANYTHING ELSE.

1. Flash the RUU again.

2. Quick configure.

3. Use revolutionary.io.

4. Install a custom rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
Okay, and where do I get the beta key from? I mean, I am supposed to put my S/N somewhere, but I don't know where.

Sorry, but I couldn't find any instruction on that.

Edit: my bad, I had javascript disabled O.o

Tried it again: SUCCESS!!!

How do I get a Custom ROM on the device now? Can I continue at STEP FIVE - Partitioning Your Sd Card With Gparted in this Noob Proof Video Tutorial or does revolutionary already has some of those further steps included (like preparing SD-card, etc)?

Edit 2:

Okay, revolutionary doesn't root, it just makes S-OFF. I found this perfect step-to-step guide which is in German, though. Sorry for that...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
So it worked. You're welcome.

To root, you either install a custom rom from recovery, or you stay stock, and flash SuperSU from recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Scroll down and download the CWM flashable zip.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
Well, it worked so far...I rooted und S-OFFed it, I think O.o I even updated the radio to 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 via the app "ROM Manager".

Now I try to partition the SD card, since doing that via ROM Manager from within the phone didn't work, BECAUSE MY PHOEN STILL DOESN'T BOOT CORRECTLY :/

(Sorry, not shouting at you...just let stuff out) ^^

Okay, I'm stuck with partitioning. Currently my Bootloader-Menu shows me that I have HBOOT 6.93-1002. Should I go to http://alpharev.nl/ and rename that

PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip to PB99IMG.zip and boot the device? What is this bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img?

I'm so sorry, but I think I messed everything up. Arrrgh
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
cm7r2 hboot is a different phone memory layout. Stock hboot has 250 mb system, cm7r2 has less system alocated memory, for smaller roms, and gives you more data space.

If you want to patition your sd-card, install 4ext recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sywats:
Use 4ext recovery for partitioning

sent from my mildwild desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
Yes, I want to do that (even with 4ext recovery). My questions herefor is, if

1) this is within the correct sequence (since I still doesn't have the mildwild cm7 custom ROM installed yet)

2) how I do it with 4ext? do I need to rename the files given at http://alpharev.nl/ ?

3) when I successfully partitioned the SD-card, how do I continue? There are 2 Parts of the mildwild cm7 custom rom...

Thx in advance

Edit: I did anything as suggested in the instructions (put it on SD-card, update yes, reboot no). Then I chose "Recovery" but nothing happens. THe phone is just stuck on the HTC-logo bootscreen :/

Edit 2: okay I followed abaaabbbs instructions in another thread/your sig and installed fastboot via adb. (See attch.)

Now I need to wait a while with battery removed since my phone doens't boot at all. I can only enter bootloader menu etc, but not regular boot to android on phone itself. always stuck with HTC-logo and/or vibrating 7 times , then rebooting to htc-logo again... :/

Where r u at have u flashed recovery? Have u partitioned yet?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
I am still stuck with 4ext (see my screenshot in my last post).

I can't tell if it worked. It seemed to work, but I can't boot any further than into the bootloader-menu :/

Shouldn't formatting take a while? It jsut took 1s via adb O.o

MAybe I installed the wrong radio beforehand? I am so lost ...

Shouldn't my HBOOT say CM7r2 instead of 6.93.1002 ?

I can't enter recovery at all...

It booted...once. To the regular android menu...still it doesn't boot to recovery at all...should I re-install recovery? like CWM?

Sorry, I tried to answer that directly but as a new user I wasn't allowed to edit my prompt response for 5 minutes....

Oops, again O.o

As above, I want to install mildwild cm7. I would prefer to isntall 4ext instead of CWM again....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sywats:
I'm on mildwild 7 great rom :) yes I would recommend 4ext recovery, have u downloaded all parts of mildwild an put them on the root of ur SD card

sent from my mildwild desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
Shouldn't I change HBOOT to cm7r2 first and make the partitions with 4ext first?

Or do I do it all in one step?

Edit: in one of the seldom times the phone actually booted to regular android, I installed the 4ext recovery again - this time via astro data manager (installed the 4ext-recovery-APK from SD-card). Well, when I enter the bootloader and chose "RECOVERY", it still is stuck at the HTC-Logo...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czullo:
My frien have same problem and using 4ext recovery do the work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sywats:
U don't need to change hboot, the one u got is fine, do u have 4ext recovery yet?

sent from my mildwild desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
Do I have it? yes

Can I use it? no

All in all, I tried 3 (!) methods to geht 4ext-recovery working (the only one I didn't try was via Android Flasher, which is redundant, I think):

did the P99xxxx.zip (?) and put it on SD-card, and went into bootloader, so it automatically updated.........result: stuck at HTC Logo after choosing "RECOVERY" in bootloader-menu

did install the recovery.img via fastboot (see screenshot of cmd in further post of mine)............................result: stuck at HTC-Logo after choosing "RECOVERY" in bootlaoder-menu

put 4ext-recovery-APK on SD-Card, isntalled it via Astro Data Manager APp in the regular android menu...result: stuck at HTC-Logo after choosing "RECOVERY" in bootlaoder-menu

Have u flashed recovery with 4ext?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
Sorry, I don't understand.

Can you be more specific, please?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvsk69:
Do you have a custom recovery like 4ext or CWM installed?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sywats:
When u install 4ext recovery u first have to flash recovery before u do anything then u can get into recovery, if u can't get into recovery I'm guessing u don't have recovery, was u able to get in recovery with cwm?

sent from my mildwild desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGE2010:
ALlright, I just went to 4ext in regular android menu (I opened the app) and flashed the 4ext recovery RC8. (Edit:accidentally typed 3ext before )

(to the second question: no, I coudn't get into recovery with CWM before...)

I will update soon in a minute, how flashing went...

Edit: I choose "RECOVERY" in Bootloader-menu, the 4ext-bootscreen appears and counting to 10, but then I went into a bootloop :(

In my last post, I accidentally typed I flashed 3ext recovery. Of course I flashed 4ext-recovery

Well, when I access the 4ext-App in the regular android menu (not via bootbloader-->RECOVERY), then I find this information (see attch). Does it look good so far?

Edit: I now managed to boot 4ext-recovery correctly from the bootloader--> "RECOVERY"

that'S my biggest effort in DAYS!!! ^^

What next? O.o

Oh damn, what do I do now?

I just managed to boot the RECOVERY from the bootloader for the 1st time (see attch) and now it is the wrong version (RC8)? Do I have to do the same stuff with RC9 again - which simply overwrites the RC8 or is this more difficult now?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Theres no need really, u can flash the latest recovery later using the 4ext app.

First what u want to do is nandroid backup. In recovery go to backup/restore then backup and backup ur rom.

Nah not really, aslong as u have ur rom u want to install downloaded on pc.

Ok now time to partition sdcard. In recovery go to

Long story short, a couple months ago, I thought that I was running bootloader 4.13, but I was running 3.34, and flashed M-kernel which specifically says only flash if you are running bootloader 4.13.

I tried flashing 4.13 as mentioned here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1989319 But it still takes a while to boot up and if I reboot into bootloader it shows that I am still running 3.34.

You are right, sorry about that. Got it yesterday, and there is much not too like about this. Too much interference and stuttering because of SC processor. Small screen interferes with keyboard, which in turns hitting capacitive buttons accidentally and too often.

I think I might get another screen saver; too many smudges on gorilla glass screen. No HD, inexcusable. No camera button; hate that.

Music player is very, very good. Cranked up clear bass.

And has very good storage capacity.

But I will be taking my arc along for pix and video.

Just wondering, my radio for the most part works fine. Having some WiFi connectivity issues here and there (connection drops lots of packets after a while and it's better to revert to 3G) but that could be rom-based as it's a recent thing. Other issue is the phone takes far longer than my old N1 to pick up signal again after being underground (often have to switch on/off airplane mode) and this has been this way since day 1

In any case, they are minor issues, but I hear that updating radios can really unlock a lot of the phones data speed and battery potential.

So the question is how do I go about it? Is it just a matter of flashing the latest radio? Right now I have baseband XXLF1 (out of the box) and I've been looking at this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34045210 as the latest version, how do I know if it's compatible with my particular device?

Moreover, all of these basebands seem to have CWM flash capability, what about TWRP?
